Engine v3 in friendlies: put-backs and missed free throws
Engine work continues — these changes apply to the v3 engine only, currently active in friendly games.
ENGINE Players now attempt put-backs right after grabbing an offensive rebound — reported by @lolek131 (examples below)
Bruno Gutiérrez crashes the glass and grabs the offensive rebound.
Bruno Gutiérrez misses the putback.
Bruno Gutiérrez follows the miss and comes up with the offensive rebound.
Bruno Gutiérrez tips it up, but it will not drop.
ENGINE Added missing handling of missed free throws (examples below)
Hernán Benítez clanks the free throw (1/2).
Arkadiusz Nowicki secures the miss from the stripe.
Julián Arévalo clanks the free throw (5/8).
Álvaro Fagúndez offensive rebound after the free throw.
This isn't just a play-by-play text change — it's new engine logic that improves game realism. The engine has also been slightly retuned, since both additions shift the overall shot mix.
Keep delivering ideas, and together we can build the best online basketball manager ever.
